Photograph: 1964 Blackball mine pay packet

DescriptionI went to the local recycle centre here in Takaka today & was handed this 1964 Blackball mine pay packet & did I know the owner, K. A. Buchanan. I said yes he is my brother in law. Unfortunately it had been opened & was empty.PhotographerTom HartillDate of PhotoBetween 1st January 1964 and 31st December 1964Map[1] ContributorTom Hartill

Tom Hartill Talking about weekly or fortnightly pays I remember many years ago at our break-up picnic I was standing near some of the wives talking about Xmas presents. One said she was going to get her husband something very nice as he always gave her three quarters of his pay each fortnight. Another wife said what about the other weeks pay? They get paid weekly. I got out of there very quickly. He had been working there 11 years. Our first day back after New Year at morning tea I couldn't resist asking him what he got for Xmas. Was emphatically told to shut up.

Les Holmes Germanicus If anyone comes across a similar one for any of the Runanga mines we'd find a good home for it at the Runanga Miners' Hall archival centre.
